I am a University Assistant Professor of Finance, Real Estate, and Economics at the University of Cambridge. I hold a PhD in Economics from Yale University and a BA in pure Mathematics from the University of Chicago.

I conduct applied research in finance and real estate, leveraging real-world, high-resolution data to examine mortgage markets, housing, consumer lending, and artificial intelligence and machine learning. I focus on research that advances both scholarly understanding and practical decision-making, tackling problems that matter for investors, policymakers, and society at large.

At Cambridge, I teach undergraduate Fundamentals of Finance & Investments, graduate Corporate Finance & Real Estate and Research Design, and executive Real Estate Finance. I was nominated for a university-wide teaching prize for my engaging teaching and track record of making complex economic concepts clear, intuitive, and exciting.

I apply my academic work in finance, law, and real estate. I serve as Managing Partner of Kymatic Investments, a quantitative hedge fund co-founded by award-winning mathematicians Charles Fu and James Tao. (We are hiring!) I have also recently served as an expert witness in several multi-million dollar real estate cases.

Prior to earning my PhD, I worked full-time as a quantitative researcher at Ellington Management Group, a hedge fund that specializes in real estate and mortgage-backed securities, and as a senior economist at SpringHarbor Financial Group, a family office where I worked alongside a former Undersecretary of the Treasury and former Comptroller of the Currency on fintech venture capital investments. I have also consulted on economic policy for policymakers and elected officials, such as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign and Senator Cory Booker during the 115th Congress.

I enjoy presenting research on finance, real estate, AI, and economic modeling. I’ve delivered invited talks at Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, MIT, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Office of Financial Research, and dozens of other universities, policy institutions, and businesses.

I serve as Treasurer of the New York Festival of Song and on the Board of Students for Educational Justice. I like to cook, read, make and listen to music, dance, travel, solve puzzles, and spend time with my little brother and sister. I have spent over two decades conducting field research into the economics of coffee and taco consumption. (Preliminary results are encouraging.)
